In the city, space is scarce. But garden fans must by no means forgo their own, private bit of green as a result. With the following tips and assistance, hobby gardeners can live out their passions, even on the smallest areas.

Just because the space is limited, doesn't mean that hobby gardeners must give up their green ambitions. Saving space is the name of the game! For a cosy, yet spacious living area in the open, set up some garden chairs that can be collapsed or tucked away under a table when they are not in use. Naturally, there are more clever ideas and tools that can help you to create small but beautiful green oases. To this end, Gardena offers allotment and city gardeners a host of practical assistance. The stylish Balcony Box, for example, contains everything that is necessary for the care of plants in pots and tubs, from gardening trowels to large secateurs, and can be stored in a way that saves space.

Lots of green in a little space

A small garden also has its advantages. It is easier to maintain and takes less time to do so! Herbs thrive in containers hung from balcony railings and leafy plants look fantastic in hanging baskets. Taller, more slender plants in tubs and pots, such as bamboos or grasses, are well suited to protecting your privacy. Gardena offers the right assistance for vertical gardeners too with the NatureUp! The planting wall allows plants to be arranged both alongside and above one another. Quickly assembled, it allows for easy gardening in the smallest of spaces. It isn't just climbers and ivy that can be grown up high, but ferns, fruit and vegetables too. Alongside its practical uses, the plant wall adds a smart and eye-catching appeal to balconies and terraces.

I'll be off then!

Those who are out and about a lot can make sure their plants receive enough water without relying on helpful neighbours. Potted plants and flower boxes can very easily be supplied by an autonomous irrigation system. The Garden Holiday Watering Set draws water, either from a storage tank, or directly from the existing water supply. Watering times are individually adjustable using an integrated water computer. This way, busy professionals and holidaymakers don't have to worry about the well-being of their plants while they are not at home. Those who have a lawn to call their own in a small space can also be worry-free during holidays and when working overtime. The smart SILENO city mows lawns of up to 500 m² independently and reliably. The gardener still remains in control: mowing cycles can be easily adjusted at any time using an app.
